What does the Chia Pet TM have to do with sustainable living? Can grain crops be an art form?Jeff Schmuki, visiting artist in the Auburn University Department of Art, will be displaying his work from Jan. 18 through Feb. 26 in the Biggin Gallery of 101 Biggin Hall. He challenges viewers to confront and to collaborate on issues such as sustainable living and grain crops as an art form. Schmuki received his M.F.A from the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred University and his B.F.A. from Northern Arizona University. His approach combines environmental, social, economic and aesthetic concerns with a nomadic sensibility developed after Hurricane Katrina. Schmuki often encourages the audience to consider art-making a collaborative research laboratory, empowering the community and promoting a more accountable use of natural resources.
